Harlow ordered a dep- uty Sheriff to arrest four citizens of sles and force them across the lina into Mexico, where they were taken and im- mediatély shot by the authorities of that republic without a trfal. This rash act brings up an international question and has created indignation on both sides of | the line.

This, however, is mere conjecture, for up ¥o the present writ- | ing no news from the crater itself has | reached Hilo. Still from Hilo a lava | flow is plainly visible, but which direc- | tion it will take when it reaches the| | tableland between the two mountains | remains to be seen. Early on Wednes- | | day morning many of the Hilo leisure | | class left for the Volcano House, and | | expeditions to the crater are being| ‘tormed in Hilo.” | Another account is taken from the | Hilo Tribune, which says: ‘The erup- | | tion was first noticed at the Volcano | | House, when early on the morning of | | July 4 Mr. Waldron and the guests of the hotel were wakened by an explosion and on making their way to the ver- anda witnessed one of the grandest and | most elaborate aisplays of Pele’s dis- | pleasure ever yet seen. The outbreak oceurred on the side of Mauna Loa at an elevation of about 10,000 feet and in about the same place as where issued the flow of 1880-8l. Two immense | | fountains of lava were forced in the air | to an elevation of many hundred feet, and from these and the constant over- flow from the mountain were rapidly | formed the three lava flows which are | now steadily, making their way down | the mountain side and toward the sea. i t | | “These streams of lava. have each | taken different directions, and the | rapidity of their movements {s de- pendent on the obstructions and de- | | pressions of the country through which | they pass. The smaller flow 1s in the | direction of Kilauea, and Is about| twenty miles distant from the hotel| | (Volcano House.) What is apparently | on the Hilo | ‘the second flow in size side, as nearly as can be estimated, will take about the same course as the ‘Wailuku River. The third flow, which has taken its way toward the Kau side is, to all appearances, the largest lava flow yet witnessed on the island, and seems to be making rapid progress in its path of destruction. As yet sufficient time has not elapsed to obtain correct measurements and speed of these dif- ferent flows, but men have been sent to the scene of activity by Julian Mont- | sarrat and W. H. Shipman, and will | probably be returning within the next two or three days.

It may go | to Kau, Olaa, Hilo, by way of the 1881 | flow, or Kiholo, by way of the 1859 flow. | If it takes the first or last of these courses, it will of course mean little or | no damage to Hilo. Past history shows | that flows from near the summit are | both large and long; for instance, the flow of 1881 “Later—I have just learned by tele- phone from a police officer at Waimea that the flow has reached a point near or below Kalaeeha hills, the main sta- tion of the Humuula sheep station. This information was gleaned by the | police officer from a native who had just come down from the place, and is no doubt authentic. If this is the case, | the course must be direct to Hilo, and | not Ktholo. The easiest route to the scene of action is by way of Waimea, taking from there the wagon road to | Kalaeeha.” Circuit Judge Gardner K. Wilder of Hilo indorses the letter. The Upolu also brought the news that there had been another outbreak on the Kona side of Mauna Loa at about the same altitude as the ones on the Hilo side. It may here be sald for the informa- tion of those not famillar with Hawal- fan topography that Mokuaweoweo is the island of Hawall.

Its dimensions are: Area, 414 square miles; circumference, 7.85 miles; extreme width, 10,300 feet; ex- treme length, 15,500 feet, and elevation at the Volcano House, 4040 feet.

He vanished there and she, transformed into an indescribably hideous hag, disrobed in the first pillar of fire that rushed to the heavens with a nolse as discordant as a broadside from the Olympia’s guns. | ing Captain Olsen from all blame. . ¢ * ¢ b + SUPERVISOR k¢ ) DEASY TooK IN ; CORPORAL GuinNEA, THE DRILL. 14 S . e e Boys at Camp Fallon Have Fun. \ 1 B R S e e S S S e e L .@&x. returned to the hot gave a_concert, | ladies of Santa Cruz the “Giants” and the ‘‘Rough Riders™ participated in an Indtan war dance.

HUENEME, Cal, July 20.—Fate has indeed been kind to the steam schoon- er South Coast, which went ashore here in a dense fog this morning, for this, coupled with the facts of the wonderful coolness displayed by her captain and the splendid discivline of his crew in executing orders, brought the vessel safely out of a most dan- gerous predicament st 3 o'clock this afternoon. The steanier is now moor- ed at the wharf and the discharging of her cargo of lumber well under way, no damage whatever having resulted from her close call. Captain Arthur Olsen was in com- mand of the South Coast and this was his first run to this port.

Newspaper Changes Hands. VISALIA, July 20.—A newspaper change of considerable importance occurred In this city to-day, when George V. Stewart sold his half interest in the Delta Pub- lishing Company to Alonzo Melville Doty. By this deal Mr. Doty becomes the sole owner of the Daily and Weekly Delta. This plant and business is valued at $16.- 000. Mr. Stewart has been connected with the Delta since 1876, and %ulned an interest in the he Delta was established in 1857, and is one of the leading Republican journals of the San Joaquin Vufiuy.

HONOLULU, July 13.—On the morning of July 7 news was received of the death by poison of a comparative stranger, who had attracted considerable passing atten- tion by her great beauty and the fact that her “husband,” one of the “late arrivals,” had earned a popular reputation as a good business man and good fellow among | a certain ¢ {‘ H. N. Almy, manager of the Washington i Light Company of this city, states that | the deceased, Edith “Almy” (whose real | name was not disclosed, but who is said to be a nlece of John Baird, a weli-known | jeweler of.San Francisco) lived with him | here as his wife. He had known her in |'San Francisco and furnished her with | money. She came here on the Iith of | June and rejoined him. | 7 Almy’s story, as told to the deputy mar- | shal, is that he and the woman had been | drinking together heavily. This was in | part confirmed by the condition in which Almy was found early in the morning, be- ing fast p by the side of the corpse. His story in brief is that, meeting® | Hotel street, they took a hired carriage to their home on Young street, had some | refreshments and later on in the evening [ took a drive, finally at a late hour bring- |ing_up at a private resort} where wine s illicitly sold. Here they drank two bot- | tles of champagne, and reached home | about 10 o'clock in the morning. The | woman, he says, left him to visit other apartments in the house, and shortly after returning complained of feeling sick and | being - in great pain. Although Aimy | thought there was nothing serious, he tei- | ephoned to Dr. Miner, but telling him that { he thought there was pothing much amiss. In a few minutes, however, he became alarmed and telephoned to the doc- tor to hurry. Dr. Miner responded at 2 o'clock, as promptly as possible, but the woman' was already dead. During his investigations Dr. Miner dis- vered a boftle which had contained the 1, similar_somewhat in its ef-| car : acid or_creosote, which had undoubtedly been the cause of the death to judge from the scalded condition | of the eyes, mouth and throat of the de- ceased. A Coroner’s jury held an inquest and | after three hours returned the following | | verdict: | “That Mrs. E. Almy came to her death | | in Honolulu on the Tth day of July, 189, by taking poison administered by her own hand.” Street comments are unkind, and the Independent has practically demanded an investigation by the Attorney General's department, since neither the Marshal nor the Coroner evinced any disposition to probe beyond the evidence offered the | jury by Almy, the doctor and the hack | ver. | It has leaked out that the police version | or theory is the following: That Almy has | an undivorced wife in New York, unknown to the deceased, whom he had promised to | | marry. She came here to {nduce him to| carry out that promise, and on the even- | ing in question he started out with her | with the intention of being privately mar- | ried. The sudden fear of the conse- | quences of a bigamous marriage led him to again defer. Recriminations and prom- ises then led to the debauch and the death | | of the victim in despair. | “The real name of the woman is be- lieved to be Mrs. Edith Fuller.

The lion had been committing depredations in tae country around the Carmel Valley for some time past, carrying off calves and young Plg- and greatly annoying ranchers as well as causing alarm among the wo- men and children of the vicinity. On Bunday night last the animal car- ried off a fine calf from the Pacific Im- provement Company’'s Laurellas rancho and the next morning John Y.

FOR PROTECTION “0F THE FORESTS Congress Asked to Make New Laws. e FIRE A VERY GRAVE DANGER MORE STRINGENT REGULATIONS ARE DESIRED. AT Some Interesting Papers by Experts Are Read During the Sessions of the Convention at Los Angeles. Sila e Special Dispatch to The Call. | LOS ANGELES, retical and sentimental ideas of forest | preservation were to-day combated | by a practical and matter-of-fact prop- osition at the session of the American Forestry Convention, being “held in this city. | Abbott Kinney, first vice-president | for California, presided. Upon the desk before the chairman and on the table of Secretaries George W. Whit- tlesey and W. H. Knight, were large bouquets of eucalyptus blossoms in | many varieties of red, white, yellow and green, notable exhibits of on branch of the local association. | S. H. Woodbridge, Ph. D., read a| paper on ‘“Water Conservation in | Soils.” The speaker related the result | of his own experiments to show that | some varleties of sofl absorb moisture | much more rapidly than do others, and | the natural mold of an old forest is the best in every respect. The object of the paper was to show the absolute necessity of preserving forests that protect the absorbent soil which serves guch a useful purpose in storing water. | The principal address of the ses: was. made: by Ellwood Mead, formerly State engineer of Wyoming,- recently appointed irrigation expert for the De- partment of Agriculture, on “The Fu- ture Policy for Irrigation in the West.” He prefaced his remarks by saying he had Intended making his address ap- | plicable to conditions here, but found | that he could do that only after mak- ing a personal investigation. The tenor of the address was an unqualified in- dorsement of a proposal to lease for grazing purposes all the public lands and to use the money thus obtained in the construction of storage reservoirs and irrigating canals. He argued that in regions where high freight rates prevall it is folly to expect private en- terprise to engage in the great work of storage reservoirs and irrigation sys- tems. The morning session was opened by the paper of A. Campbell Johnson on “A Forest Experiment Station.,” read by Secretary Whittlesey. The author of this paper urged the establishment of experimental stations and the sys-| tematic planting of trees. H. Hawgood, a well-known civil en- gineer, followed with a paper, “En- gineering Problems in Forestry and ‘Water Stor~ge.” . Wallace W. Everett, associate editor of Wood and Iron, a San Francisco publication, presented a paper on “The Practical in Forestry.” At the afternoon meeting John Mc- Laren. spoke on “Reclamation of Drift- ing Sand Dunes in Golden Gate Park,” and showed how those erratic despoil- ers of landscape gardening were brought into subjection by skillful management, which could be as suc- cessful in other localities where unfer- tile sand predominates. Professor W. R. Dudley read a paper on “The Sequoia of the - Sierras and Their Distribution.” James D. Schuyler, civil engineer, read a paper on ‘“‘Storage Reservoirs as Affected by Forests.” i At to-night’s sbssion a resolution was passed asking that the next Congress be requested to pass a law substan- tially as follows: ‘‘“Whoever kindles, uses, or leaves after using, any fire, whether made by himself or others, that does any damage to grass, brush, timber or other vegeta- tion on land of the Unitéd States be- yond a circle of six feet radius from the center of such fire shall pay a fine of $100, without regard to the amount of care used to prevent such damage.” The purport of this resolution is to do away with the present law, which requires proof of negligence or care- lessness before conviction can be se- cured. The convention, instead of waiting until the next Congress, will ask the Secretary of the Interior tc adopt at once a regulation covering the point. e July 20.—The theo- | _ THE [ 000C0000000000000¢ ° PALACE *** SGRAND HOTELS ¢ SAN FRANCISCO. a © Connected by a covered passageway.
